Cause-specific mortality to act on: |
Neonatal deaths from sepsis and tetanus |
Cause-specific estimate of effect: |
Reduction in neonatal deaths from sepsis of 15% with clean birth practices at home with no skilled attendant, 23% with a skilled attendant at home and 27% in a facility. |
Reduction in neonatal deaths from tetanus of 30% at home with no skilled attendant, 35% at home with a skilled attendant and by 38% in a facility. |
Clean postnatal newborn care practices are estimated to reduce neonatal mortality from sepsis by 40% and from tetanus by 40% |
Quality of input evidence: |
Very low quality– based on Delphi panel consensus |
Moderate to very low quality supporting evidence |
